Physics runs on a very short list of rules
Energy is never created or destroyed, and a surprising number of quiz answers follow from that alone.
Conservation laws, Newton’s three laws and a handful of named units cover most introductory physics. The units themselves are a memory aid: force is measured in newtons, pressure in pascals, power in watts and frequency in hertz, each honouring the person who pinned the idea down. Knowing which quantity a unit belongs to is often enough to eliminate three of four options before you even read them properly.
